Norcal Shark attack, Marina State Beach, CA

I was sifting through Surfline this morning when I came across this article on the poor bas*ard who got partially munched over in Northern California this week at Marina State Beach. He is now in a ‘fair condition’ over at San Jose hospital, and will hopefully be making a full recovery.

It is crazy when you read stories like this. I myself have surfed in some places known to have sharks: Cape Town, Durban, San Francisco, Fiji, Bali, Oz etc, but have been fortunate enough never to have seen anything. I can’t even imagine how I would react if I saw a 12ft Great White in the water coming towards me, bitchin’ stuff.
